2005–2019 GMC Yukon XL FAQ

When should I change the engine oil?

2015–2019

Use the Oil Life display; when it is low and CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON appears, change the oil as soon as possible.

The Oil Life system does not replace the additional maintenance recommended in the Maintenance Schedule.

Reset the Oil Life display after each oil change, and do not reset it at any other time.

Why do my headlights turn off after 10 minutes?

2015–2019

Headlamps turn off 10 minutes after the ignition is turned off; if the vehicle is off, they also shut off after 10 minutes to prevent battery drain.

Turn the control off and back to the headlamp-on position for another 10 minutes, or keep the ignition on or in ACC/ACCESSORY.

2015–2019

If equipped, enable IntelliBeam with the turn signal lever in neutral by turning the exterior lamp control to AUTO.

It activates above 25 mph when dark and no other traffic is present; keep the windshield sensor area clear.

What should I do if the brake warning light comes on while driving?

2015–2019

The light indicates a brake problem, so pull off the road and stop carefully; the pedal may be harder to push, go closer to the floor, or take longer to stop.

If the light remains on, have the vehicle towed for service because driving with it on can lead to a crash.

What does remote vehicle start do?

Remote start lets you start the engine from outside the vehicle; the parking lamps turn on, and the start can be extended.
